Bride of En characters~ (Patreon)

My schedule got a bit turned around this past week, so I've had to juggle and rearrange my task list a little bit, and there's a slight delay on the Fujiko content. I'll have more of that to show by next week!

In the meantime, I figure I could share some original character content, as it's been a while since the last time I've shared original work on here. I was supposed to post this last month as part of the bikini armor theme, but I got lost in the amazon haha. So I guess this is a follow up for that!

Set in a dark world of swords and sorcery during an age of rising chaos and war, Bride of En is about Freya and her perilous quest to find her friend and former second-mate, Greiv, while avoiding the nefarious forces of the chaos god En. She is a barbarian warrior who once led a merry band of misfits across the sea, until they betrayed and offered her to the chaos god En, in exchange for En's blessings. 

En took a particular liking to Freya, and wants to make her his next queen. She managed to escape, but now is on the run. Convinced that there was more to these events than what  seems to be, she goes out on a quest to find and talk to Greiv. Along the way, she runs into many different friends, enemies, challenges, and dangers. It is a dark and jaded world, but Freya will pierce through it like a ray of hope among stormy clouds. Or so one hopes. It is a treacherous journey ahead, and Freya may find herself vulnerable to many of En's dark and twisted intentions.

I was drawing these characters last year as a way to think about the idea as well as character design practice in general. I haven't touched it much since making this lineup, so my notes are a little bit rusty. Also, you can see that a lot of the character's don't even have names quite yet, aside from the main ones.

It's interesting looking at these designs again. It'd certainly be the kind of situation where some may not be needed, or play a relatively minor role. Or designs may need to be revisited and streamlined. Testing the character designs in action is certainly part of the process, of which some of these haven't gone through that quite yet and would need refining.

Plus, I probably won't touch this for a while, as I wanted to focus on some other projects first. I figured for last month's theme (and I guess for today, as something to post on Patreon) it would be a neat thing to share.
